King Billy monuments

King Billy monuments are memorials honoring King Billy (William IV), a historic figure often celebrated for his role in colonial history, particularly in regions like Australia and New Zealand. These monuments typically commemorate his influence and leadership during the 19th century, but they can also be controversial due to his association with colonialism and its impacts on Indigenous peoples. The debates around these monuments focus on whether they should be preserved as historical artifacts or removed due to their symbolic implications regarding colonial oppression and cultural sensitivity.
